Connect from anywhere
Every basefyio project now exposes its database through an external connection pooler endpoint. This means you can use your favorite database tool — no need to go through the basefyio dashboard for every query.
Supported tools:
- pgAdmin — full visual admin for your database
- DBeaver — universal database tool (free & open-source)
- DataGrip — JetBrains database IDE
- TablePlus — modern, lightweight database client
- psql — connect from your terminal
- Any SQL client that speaks the PostgreSQL wire protocol
How to connect
- Open your project in the basefyio dashboard
- Go to Connection in the sidebar
- Copy the Host, Port, Database, User, and Password fields
- Paste them into your database client
Or copy the full Connection URI and paste it directly — most tools support URI import.
Connection page improvements
The Connection page now includes:
- External Tools quick-connect guide with step-by-step instructions for pgAdmin and DBeaver
- Correct external hostname — connection strings now show the public endpoint instead of internal addresses
- Password management — generate or set a custom database password directly from the dashboard
New documentation
A dedicated External Database Access guide is now available in the docs, covering:
- Finding your credentials
- Connecting from pgAdmin, DBeaver, DataGrip, TablePlus, and the terminal
- Using connection strings with Prisma and Drizzle ORMs
- Connection pooling behavior
- Security best practices
